Question

Which of the following statements best analyzes the effect of World War I on colonial peoples in Africa?(1 point)

Although the war was predominantly fought in Europe, it still had extensive impacts on people in African colonies and their livelihoods.

Colonized peoples began to believe that it was beneficial to be colonized by Europeans, who made them part of their countries.

Because only small numbers of Africans were required to join the war effort, there was little impact on those living in African colonies.

Europeans accessed resources in their African colonies because they did not have enough materials to fight their total war in Europe.

Answer 1

Although the war was predominantly fought in Europe, it still had extensive impacts on people in African colonies and their livelihoods.

Reason: African colonies supplied large numbers of soldiers and laborers, raw materials, and food; experienced forced recruitment, higher taxes, requisitioning of resources, and economic disruption; and saw the spread of new political ideas that helped fuel later nationalist movements.
